Firstly, they fit well! They're comfortable and I don't feel self conscious in them. Tremendous!
Secondly, I tried them out on a rather manky day, on top of cycling tights. My backside was soaking, mainly thanks to lack of a rear mudguard, but the front of my tights stayed dry! My only criticism would be that the bottom of the legs could be a bit narrower, as I was fearful of them getting caught on my chain... (but they didn't).
I'd definitely recommend them though.
Realistic sizing and comfortable fit.
